We added a new addition tonight! I have thought Lincoln was ready for his own pet for a little while and we decided that for his birthday this year we would get him one. He decided he wanted a chameleon (which hell yeah dude!) and we picked him up today! I know, it's early, but we couldn't wait. So, meet ZK. He is an ambilobe panther chameleon and he's just a little baby. These develop super bright and unique colors. We are both absolutely obsessed with him! He's so cool and loved to climb all over us. We can't wait to get to know him a little bit better and watch him grow and for his colors to develop.
Brian had a good day today! He got up early this morning with OT and had 2 sessions of ADLs with two different OTs (I'm not really sure why they did 2 sessions, but the more therapy for him the better). His usual therapist did the second session and she said she worked with him on trying to eat and working on his shoulders to stretch them out and do some range of motion stretching. She also worked on his scar a little bit to help that scar tissue loosen up. Then right after those ADLs Brian had PT. In PT Brian did a lot of walking and trying to navigate the hospital. After that he also went to the T. Rec gym and played some foosball and some pool.
Then we had a little break and Brian had two speech sessions today. It must have been passed along that Brian tends to get a little antsy when he is just sitting and waiting. I hope this packed schedule continues. The first speech session was his normal speech therapy but with a different therapist today. Brian's usual speech therapist is off this week for spring break. The second speech therapy session was with the aphasia program coordinator working with his iPad some more.
Then right after that he spent another half hour on the exercise bike that is similar to a recumbent bike. All around great day today.
